COLUMBUS, OHIO - Throughout his long amateur boxing career, not many opponents were larger than Hudsonville heavyweight Jordan Shimmell.

That wasn't that case in his second professional fight.

On Saturday night at the L.C. Pavilion in Columbus, Ohio, Shimmell took to the ring against Cincinnati's Mario Huffman, who measures 6 feet, 6 inches and weighed in at 263 pounds.

Shimmell is 6-3, and weighed in at 206 pounds.

The size differential didn't matter, as Shimmell ended his second professional fight just like he did in his first last month – with a second round knockout.

After a pretty even first round, Shimmell took charge in round two and caused the fight to be stopped at 2:35 of the second round.

“I was a little nervous to fight a bigger guy, but I was confident in knowing what I had to do. And I knew I had the experience.”

And that was to let the fight come to him.

“I knew I had to fight a smarter fight because of his size,” Shimmell said. “I just used my speed and power. I overwhelmed him with my speed.”

That's exactly what he did in his first fight in stopping Lansing's Kolmarge Harris, stopping him at 53 seconds of the second round.

“This guy was much bigger, and he hit harder,” Jordan Shimmell's father and corner man Dennis Shimmell said. “And because of his reach he posed more of a problem, so Jordan had to be a little smarter and he was.

“Jordan was hit with more shots in the first round, and that made it closer,” he added. “But Jordan started to pick up the pace in the second round.”

Now he is 2-0 in his young professional career, and ready for fight three, which is yet to be announced.
